How long has it been for Tennessee since the Vols last beat an AP Top 10 SEC opponent at home? Try 1999 when sixth-ranked Tennessee defeated 10th-ranked Georgia 37-20. Phillip Fulmer was in his seventh full season as the Vols' head coach, and current USC offensive coordinator Tee Martin was the Vols' quarterback. Tennessee, 0-24 in all games against Top 10 foes going back to the start of Fulmer's final season in 2008, will be trying to end that drought when No. 7 Georgia comes to Neyland Stadium on Saturday.

Tennessee coach Butch Jones often follows closer-than-expected victories by saying that he never will apologize for a win.

New Tennessee athletic director John Currie does not want to fire Butch Jones, and has made that clear. But games like today's -- a listless performance against an 0-4 UMass team that Tennessee couldn't put away until the final minute, before a largely empty Neyland Stadium -- hurt Jones. The Vols haven't looked great in three of four games, despite a 3-1 record. The Georgia game will be huge for the fifth-year coach.
